David Reyna shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning David, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Honestly, something that’s made me feel really proud lately is just surrounding myself with the right people, close friends, supporters, and my family. People who actually accept me for who I am and what I want to do. Ever since going solo, I’ve had full creative control over my work, and it’s been refreshing to just make music that I genuinely love. With my latest release, ‘grl,’ I’ve felt so proud seeing the response, all the support and positive reactions have really reminded me why I do this. And honestly, there’s been plenty of funny moments too, like me spending an hour trying to record a simple line because I couldn’t stop laughing at myself in the booth. It’s all part of the process, and I’m loving it.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey, I’m David Reyna, a solo artist experimenting with a mix of indie, soul, R&B, and alternative sounds. What makes this new chapter special is that I’m finally making the music I want to make, not just what others expect to hear. I love blending different genres and trying out new sounds, lately I’ve been chasing that groovy, fun, kind of romantic vibe that just makes you want to move. It’s been a really exciting process, and I’ve got a few more songs and collaborations lined up for the next couple of months. Maybe even a show sometime next year. I’m just having fun with it all and seeing where the creativity takes me.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
I think what really breaks bonds between people is when trust gets lost, when someone takes advantage of you, or when there’s miscommunication and a lack of honesty. Those things build up quietly until they just push people apart. Sometimes you can bring that bond back by showing that you’ve grown and that you’re trying to be better, but I’ve learned that you can’t always fully restore what was once broken. You can rebuild something new, sure, but it’ll never be exactly the same, and that’s okay. Growth changes people, and sometimes distance is a part of that.
When did you last change your mind about something important?
yesterday.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
A cultural value I protect at all costs is staying connected to my roots and expressing creativity through where I come from. My culture influences the way I create and the way I see things, whether it’s in my music, my art, or even how I carry myself. I think it’s important to never lose that connection, because it reminds me who I am and what I stand for. No matter how far I go or how much I grow, I always want to keep that part of me alive.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing?
I think I’d regret not staying true to myself, not taking the chance to be different. Trying to be like everyone else would feel like holding myself back. I never want to look back and feel like I didn’t express who I really am or make the kind of art I actually believe in. You’ll look back and realize the cringe moments were the best parts, because that’s when you were being real. You won’t die proud of the moments you pretended to be someone you weren’t.
